Why you shouldn't quit your day job if you decide to start a blog

Lots of excitement here at boj World Headquarters©®™ as Google just deposited my latest earnings check from 
AdSense on my blog.

Note: you'll never see an ad on the main event: only when you click on a single post does the ad machine start rolling.

Anyway, me and my Crack Research Team©®™  gonna be partying late into the night tonight spending every penny of the $102.95 that came in earlier today.

How good are you at judging the passing of time? Find out below.

A simple game: open the microwave door as close to the timer hitting 0:00 as you can without the bell dinging.

Free, the way we like it.

Up top, my best score after trying for about a minute.

Fair warning: there goes the day.

Below, the highest score possible,

which many brag about here.
